Naruto Primer: Future Ino

Live in a House; Continued

Things pretty much went exactly the way Ino had always hoped.  She was twenty-eight years old, though didn't look a day over twenty-one.  She was married to the man of her dreams and had taken on the name of Uchiha Ino.  Now she had two beautiful blond little boys, one at the age of four whose name was Sasuke Jr. and the two-year-old, named after her father, Inoshi.

She and Sasuke had successfully brought the Uchiha clan back to life after cutting it in half in their younger days.  That's right, she and Sasuke had ventured off after acquiring their new Jounin vests and finally brought an end to Itachi's life.  They were the ultimate ninja team.

The best part of all, they lived in a house.

This may seem unrealistic, but that's how it happened.  You never know what could happen in sixteen years.  Ino is living proof of that.  And as she sat there, waiting for Sasuke to come home from meeting with the Hokage, she reminisced about her younger days when she would compete with Sakura over Sasuke.  She had thought it was all over for her once Sakura had been assigned in the same three-man team as Sasuke.  But she proved that wrong.  It was exceptionally easy to get close to Sasuke after the two of them got their chuunin rank while Sakura stayed a genin.

Whatever happened to Sakura anyway?

"Mom!" came the whiny voice of her older son.  He was the spitting image of a blond Sasuke.

"Yes, Sasuke?" she said.

"Inoshi pulled my hair!" he whined.

"Let me fix it then!" said Ino as she bent down and started messing with his hair.

"Mom, I don't care that it's messy!" he said.  "I just care that he pulled my hair and he's getting away with it!!"

"Then I'll fix your hair and then deal with Inoshi." Ino said.  "Come in the bathroom."

She picked up her son and carried him over to the bathroom, standing him up on the closed toilet seat.  She started brushing his hair lovingly until it was all back in place.  Then, she picked up a hair clip and snapped a little piece of it back.

"That looks precious." She said.

"Mom, that's for girls!" said Sasuke Jr. as he went to take the clip out but Ino put her hand in the way.

"No, no." she insisted.  "It looks really manly.  Here, wait.  Let me just fix you up a little bit…"

"Mom!" said Sasuke Jr.  "Your make-up bag?"

"Yes, don't worry!" Ino said as she took out her lipstick.

"I don't want to wear lipstick, mom!" said Sasuke Jr.

"It's clear." Said Ino even though it was a lie.  "It's chap stick so your lips won't hurt."

She took a good while dolling up her son until he looked like a pretty little girl.  No longer was he the spitting image of Sasuke, more so the spitting image of Ino.  But things still didn't look right.

"Inoshi!" she called.  She needed the son with eyes like hers.  Inoshi quickly came running in.  Before he could even say anything, she picked him up as well and set him next to Sasuke Jr.  "We're going to make you look pretty!" she said as she started applying 'chap stick' to him as well.

"Mom, that's not clear!" said Sasuke Jr.

Inoshi looked at Sasuke Jr. and then pulled on his hair.

"MOM!" yelled Sasuke Jr.  "Inoshi pulled my hair again!!"

"I saw him." Said Ino, rolling her eyes.  She was a little concentrated on making Inoshi look pretty.  She didn't get much further than that because she heard the front door open.

Sasuke Sr. was home!

"Dad!" yelled Inoshi and Sasuke Jr. as they hopped off the toilet and ran past Ino so they could ambush their father.

There was a slight silence as Ino quickly packed up her make-up.

"Ino." Came Sasuke's voice.  "What have you done to my sons?"

Ino poked her head out of the bathroom.  "Sasuke, I want a girl." She said.
